I
thought that you would appreciate a brief update on Streetohome. As of
today, Streetohome has helped over 1300 vulnerable people through new
supportive
housing and homelessness prevention programs. By the end of 2014,
nearly 2,000 people will have moved off of the streets, out of shelter,
or have been prevented from becoming homeless because of Streetohome.

Streetohome
is currently fundraising on a project-by-project basis, starting with
three innovative projects. They include: a faith-based collaboration to
house homeless people in their own
neighbourhood; a mixed-income building with supportive housing for
women-led couples; and the redevelopment of a municipal fire hall
including housing for single moms and their children. These projects
will build 100 new units and provide housing with supports
for over 200 additional people.
